"First, Nvidia announced it is partnering with Japan's public research institute Riken on two new supercomputers powered by GB200 systems. The first of these systems will combine traditional supercomputing and AI to tackle issues in manufacturing, robotics, seismology, and quantum research. It will be powered by 1,600 Nvidia Blackwell GPUs, connected by Quantum-X800 InfiniBand networking and built on the GB200 NVL4 platform. The second system will aim to combine GPUs with Riken's quantum HPC hybrid infrastructure. Powered by 540 Blackwell GPUs with the same compute platform and networking technology, the aim here is to run quantum algorithms and hybrid computing simulations."
""Integrating the NVIDIA GB200 NVL4 accelerated computing platform with our next-generation supercomputers represents a pivotal advancement for Japan's science infrastructure," said Satoshi Matsuoka, director of the Riken Center for Computational Science. "Our partnership will create one of the world's leading unified platforms for AI, quantum and high-performance computing, allowing researchers to unlock and accelerate discoveries in fields ranging from basic sciences to industrial applications for businesses and society.""
Nvidia announced new supercomputing orders and partner agreements at Supercomputing 2025 in St. Louis. Nvidia is partnering with Japan's Riken to deploy two GB200 NVL4 systems: one with 1,600 Nvidia Blackwell GPUs connected by Quantum-X800 InfiniBand for AI-enhanced simulations in manufacturing, robotics, seismology, and quantum research; and a second hybrid system with 540 Blackwell GPUs integrated with Riken's quantum HPC infrastructure to run quantum algorithms and hybrid computing simulations. The systems will serve as development platforms toward FugakuNEXT, scheduled for online deployment at the end of 2029.
